Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster admits he was panicked at the prospect of facing off against Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian was at his blistering best against the Hornets in the Premier League on Saturday, as Liverpool romped to a 5-0 win.

Salah got a goal and assist in the game, taking his tally to seven goals in eight matches this term.

"His feet are so quick," said Foster, per the Daily Mail.

"Players are scared to dangle a foot in and try to tackle him because it's just asking for a penalty. You catch him, flip him and in the box he is over so it is an absolute nightmare.

"I didn't really see it. I remember three or four players around him… and him dribbling it around two, three, four, and then he used one or two bodies to shield my vision of the ball and stuck it in the corner, it was very good."
